Keyboard and mouse

As a software developer one of my most important tools is my keyboard and mouse.  It is my connection to my computer.  Most times I am thinking about what I am doing so much the keyboard is an extension of myself.  I don't really think about what I am typing, I just think about it and it goes into the computer.  The typing is nearly subconscious.

However, if you have a poor mouse or keyboard, then this subconscious work of typing the keys becomes more of a conscious decision.  You have to think about where the keys are you need to press.

Ok, so I think a lot about the keyboard and mouse that I use. I have had many over the years, and my favorite right now is the Logitech wireless wave keyboard.  The keyboard feels very natural.  I don't have to think about typing i just think and type. I really like the small receiver, not like some of the old wireless stuff I have that has long cords.  The built in wrist wrest is stylish and looks very modern. The USB receiver is super small and you don't even notice it.   The combo has many other features I am sure are nice, but I really don't use them.

I have one both at home and at the office. I have found various deals on the combo but you are most likely going to pay around $60 dollars for it.  For me who uses a keyboard for many hours each day it is certainly justifiable.



Here is a link to it on amazon.
